F. Gary Gray To Direct N.W.A Biopic Straight Outta Compton

The N.W.A biopic is one step closer to becoming a reality. Acclaimed director F. Gary Gray is in final talks to bring the film, Straight Outta Compton, to life. According to Deadline, Gray will helm the New Line Cinema project which chronicles the kick-off of Eazy E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella’s careers. While John Singleton was said to be in line for the job, it appears that Gary, whose film credits include Law Abiding Citizen, Be Cool, and The Italian Job, beat him out for the gig.
